I'm perfectly happy if FB's shady doings keep Zuckerberg out of the presidency. Last thing we need is a president with a propaganda mill

  One might look at the founding of Fox News and its relationship to the GOP and be forgiven for thinking the last thing has already happened, even though it only reaches diehard GOP voters.

    Well, sure, but that's a little different than direct control.

    This would be more like...if Trump ran Breitbart for a decade, and Breitbart had a following consisting of most of the US population and could easily be used to sway huge portions of the electorate because you spent the last decade figuring out how to manipulate your viewers. Probably a better example is if the GOP owned a private intelligence firm that had data on every citizen and could manipulate what they saw/read/said
